Featuring a unique, spicy spearmint flavour notable in Vietnamese cooking. Fresh herbs are essential in Vietnamese cuisine, and Vietnamese Mint is one of the primary herbs, lending its flavour to dishes like beef or chicken pho. Its beautiful delicate leaves are also used in salads and as garnishes. Recreating your favourite Vietnamese dishes at home will be easy with this mint. The plant is vigorous and fast-growing, preferring moist, well-drained soil and part shade or sun. Vietnamese mint is not as cold tolerant as some other varieties, and so will not be perennial in every locale, but it is well worth adding to your garden seasonally to enjoy the authentic flavour of Vietnamese cuisine.
